| Josh and Benny Safdie’s Adventures in Moviegoing
The undisputed kings of kinetic cinema that unfolds at the heart-stopping pace of a New York minute, Josh and Benny Safdie have been keeping audiences on the edge of their seats (and on the verge of a panic attack) for over a decade with whirlwind character studies like Uncut Gems, Good Time, and Heaven Knows What. In the latest edition of Adventures in Moviegoing, the brothers sit down to discuss everything from how their father’s love of film shaped their upbringing (and made Dustin Hoffman a surrogate screen dad) to their deep-cut-heavy list of the best New York movies.

The brothers’ streetwise selection of films leaps from working-class Los Angeles (Billy Woodberry’s Bless Their Little Hearts) to London’s East End (Mike Leigh’s Meantime) to a bustling Tehran (Jafar Panahi’s The Mirror) to the New York they call home (John Cassavetes’s Gloria). |
